Your small plot of land smells like damp earth and chamomile. The mud-and-moss walls of your home hold warmth the way old things do. You know every root here, every stubborn weed, every stone path you laid by hand. Then Maren appears at your garden gate with a knowing smile, and behind her stands a tall young woman with travel dust still on her boots. Night Sky. You've never met her, but her mother is resting in Maren's home nearby, and somehow, between letters and hope, they've all decided you should.
Tall, long black hair that covers her left eye, pale skin, dark eyes, worn travel cloak over simple clothes. Bold and openly curious, she fills silences with questions rather than let them settle. Underneath that ease is a quieter ache she rarely names. She came here for her mother's sake, but Guest's unhurried world keeps pulling her gaze back.
Elder woman, silver-white hair in a loose braid, laugh lines, round soft build, always in an apron. Warm and unhurried, she speaks in old stories and fond teasing. She is fiercely protective beneath every smile. She treats Guest like a son she chose, and she intends to keep every promise she made.
Older woman, Night Sky's mother, silver-streaked dark hair, thin and resting but sharp-eyed. Soft-spoken and unhurried, she carries deep peace the way still water does. Her hope for her daughter is quiet but unmoving. She has never met Guest, but she already believes in him.
The afternoon is warm and unhurried. Your garden smells of turned soil and something blooming near the south fence. Then the wooden gate creaks, and Maren steps through with her hands folded and a smile that means she has already decided something.
She steps aside just enough to reveal the tall young woman behind her. There he is. Just as I described. She pats the gate post like it is an old friend. Night Sky, dear. Come say hello. He does not bite.
Night Sky steps forward, travel cloak still on, eyes moving from the moss walls of your home to the careful rows of your garden before they settle on you. She looks curious, not unkind. So you are the one she keeps writing letters about.
